In organic and organometallic chemistry a organyl group is an organic substituent with one (sometimes more) free valence(-s) at a carbon atom.[1] The term is often used in chemical patent literature to protect claims over a broad scope.
Examples[edit]
- Acetonyl group
- Acyl group (e.g. acetyl group, benzoyl group)
- Alkyl group (e.g., methyl group, ethyl group)
- Alkenyl group (e.g., vinyl group, allyl group)
- Alkynyl group (propargyl group)
- Benzyloxycarbonyl group (Cbz)
- tert-butoxycarbonyl group (Boc)
- Carboxyl group
